Personally, I just think rap music is the best thing out there, period. If you look at my deck in my car radio, you're always going to find a hip-hop tape; that's all I buy, that's all I live, that's all I listen to, that's all I love.

I grew up listening to 2 Live Crew and NWA and I never went out and shot nobody.

Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.

Sporadic thoughts will pop into my head and I'll have to go write something down, and the next thing you know, I've written a whole song in an hour.

When I say or do something I do it, I don't give a damn what you think, I'm doing this for me.

Nothing on 'Relapse' and very little on 'Recovery' was produced by me.

Money will brainwash you and leave your ass mindless.
